I put down my pen at ten am when the housekeeper called me for breakfast. The story was finally finished. I was about to get up from the chair when my phone rang.
'Bhaskara?' I said, picking up.
'Hey, were you sleeping?'
'Not at all. Why? What happened?'
'Nikita died a few minutes ago.'
'Oh!'
'You don't want to...,'
'No. I have no connection whatsoever with her.'
'Look. She mentioned something about Gibral, right?'
'Yes, she said he was her partner in crime, lover or something,' I said in a grossed-out tone.
'Right.'
'Why? What happened?'
'We need to find Gibral.'
'But why? I mean I know Gibral was her crime partner but she was Black Swan so...you have nothing to worry, right? I mean what is the pawn without the queen. Right?'
'I think the pawn here has taken over the queen. You see, Nikita died not because of her injuries but because of poison.'
'What?'
'Yes. And we found a note stuck to her chest.'
'What did it say?'
'Gibral can create another Black Swan.'
